Sore navel « Back to Group Discussions

Yesterday I felt a little soreness on my abdomen and when I touched my navel it definitely hurt a bit. When I looked in the mirror, the bottom middle looked pink and tender and when I gently put my fingertip inside (not forcing or anything), there was a drop of blood. This is so weird! I've already had a full term pregnancy so I'm not a total rookie but this is new and weird! Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I be looked at? I feel pretty ok otherwise (well, nausea, fatigue and a stiff/sore lower back but nothing really unusual). I'm not quite 9 weeks along so I doubt my uterus is that big. Any thoughts?

My belly button had been hurting me like crazy!! It feels like something is pulling at it from the inside. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but it really hurts! Not all the time, just sometimes, randomly. I haven't noticed any blood though, but I haven't touched it either, it hurts too bad.

This is a little unrelated but could be related, I tend to bleed easily when pregnant- nosebleeds, and sometimes if I accidentally scratch a spot with thinner skin (like my breast) tiny bubbles of blood form under my skin right away even if the skin isn't broken. It's weird. Blood draws are wild adventures.
Anyway, I wonder if something could have been irritating that spot-like the waistband of your pants? And it pinched just right to make the skin break a little? Or an insect bite? I have a friend who has gotten hair splinters, did you just have a haircut?
If it were me I would soak it with warm salt water and watch to see if it changes for the worse over the next few days. Then get it looked at.

Thanks ladies. It's feeling better so I'm not worried anymore. It was just really freaky!
